Nope, actually it's made in Spain, I guess. Argentina has some really nice items made in leather, I don't know about Colombia. Mexico has some producers of items in leather but they are not very common. The mst well know is Cuadra, they make shoes of various type of leathers, they in fact sell the croc / alligator leather to Gucci and other big names and they make some clothing items in leather, mostly jackets. 



Thanks for the explanation.

Interesting to know about Cuadra. A quick search reveals that there are crocodile in Mexico indeed (Crocodylus moreletii). :teach:

You're welcome! I own a few of their shoes, the ones in calf are not the best, IMO, I think they use a lot of part of they animal they shouldn't cause sometimes the leather cracks easily. But the exotics are very nice.

Where the hell can i get that jacket

Sorry, not for sale! Thanks though.

It's Zara, some years old now. But in essence, it's a variation on a military field jacket in a heavy cotton and there's frequently similar items for sale from one maker or another most seasons. Good luck!

Betel, that is just nice all around. Excellent fit on the jacket and trousers in particular.

Sweater weather. Yeah, I'm wearing my Keen hiking shoes. I will be outside, most of the day, and will be walking several miles.
